I heard mine on TV, i dont remember where from, but someone was asked their name and decided to lie and say "Will-Floyd"

it made me laugh at the time but i'm sort of bored of it now but I cant be bothered changing it because I've changed it once before and its pointless doing it again

my name's now unique and i think many regulars are used to it

Mine comes from when I used to be on AOL and got sick of people who judge your comments by what age or sex they think you are based on your user name. I wanted something that would give nothing away about what kind of person I am so that I could have more interesting, meaningful chats with other people. I just messed around with combinations of words until I found something I liked and lo, the onion was born! It just kinda stuck and I've used it ever since.

Mine is because my firt name is Ronald and my last name is McBurger.

As simple as it gets.


Ok, so that was B.S. Actually, it was my original; name on Ebay. Couldn't think of a good name, was watching an ad for McDonalds, when on pops Ronald McDonald. Well I couldn't have that, but I did the next best thing.

Hence RonaldMcBurger!

Apart from anything else, you don't forget my name easily. ;D
